GOLD BELT & WESTERN R. r.
TRADE OF the Proposed Railway between
HALEY and the Gold Belt.

The survey of the proposed railway
between HALEY and the Gold Belt
was completed last Friday, and the
profile map was finished TO-DAY. Two
copies will be made-one to file in
the Land Office here, and the other to
send to the Secretary of the Interior.
The map shows the grade of the
road to be as follows: From the
curve below the old depot on the
Wood River Branch near HALEY to
the river, "a feet to the mile; from
Wood River to the summit, 65 feet to
the mile; from the summit to the
Camas No. mine, rs feet to the
mile on an average.
This being done. the local COMPANY
will proceed at once to obtain the
right Of way-which is already partly
secured. As soon as this is done, the
local company will simply transfer its
rights to an Eastern syndicate, which
has already got in bank the capital
needed to build the road. The local
company does not intend to speculate
III this business, and is working purely
and simply for the good of the whole
region. All who can should there.
fore assist it by every means in their
power.
Most of the property owners along
the line have already shown their
good will by offering to donate the
right of way on condition that the
road will be built within one year.
Among the number of those who have
signified their intention to give the
right of way are the l. g. o. L. I. Co.,
between the depot and River street;
Angel g. Eggert, from River street to
the river; Haley Water Power Com
pany, from the river to the Lamb
ranch; John Lamb and J. T.. G..
Smith, from the Lamb ranch to the
Gilman ranch Gncluding FIVE acres by
Mr.. Smith for depot; Mr.. Gilman
has repeatedly said that he would not
stand in the way of any company;
from his place westward the road will
pass through the Blackhart ranches ;
also through two new entries; and
then on through government land to
the Gold Belt.
The right of way should therefore
be obtained within a week.

THE BAYHORSE WORKS.
They Concentrate at q Cost Of About
SO Cents Per Ton.

Salt Lake Tribune]
Some weeks ago the Tribune told
OF the big mines In Bayhorse, Idaho;
OF the operations of o. J. Salisbury
and associates in mining and smelling,
and of the intended concentration of
low grade ores. Since then the new
concentrator has been started with
surprisingly good results. b. B. Van
Deusen returned lately from there,
bringing samples of crude ore, con-
centrates and tailings. Starting with
crude ore assaying six per cent. lead
and 20 ounces silver, it was concen-
trated to assay from AZ to 67 per
cent. lead, and from II to $50 ounces
silver. The tests made on 100 ton
lots while Mr.. Van Deusen was there,
left tailings assaying only a trace of
lead and from 4 to 10 ounces silver.
This ore-the Bes rdsley-contains a
small percentage Of chloride of silver
which it is impossible to save by any
system of concentration. The owners
of the Beardsley group of mines re-
gard the mill as a great success, and
are so we'll satisfied with the results
that they contemplate an increase of
capacity in their metallurgical plant.
The capacity Of the concentration is
from 40 to so tons per day, at cost
of about SO cents per ton. The Os-
good table is Utah invention, L. S.
Osgood, of Stockton, being the pat,
entee. 1t has proven itself at Bay.
horse to be an excellent machine,
and will be manufactured and put on
the market in this city. The success
of this concentration has given new
life to Bayhorse. One mine of low
grade concentrating ore has been pur-
chased at $4,000, which is now deemed
a big bargain, but few weeks age
its ore was worthless, in being toe
far from market. That district is sc
miles from the nearest railway, anG
$50 miles from the usual shipping
point, hence none but high grade ore
will stand shipping expenses. Re
ducing 6 to 10 tons into one of con
centrates, at nominal cost, solve.
the problem, and scores of prospect.
will now be opened to furnish the
mill with work.

Good Results In Every Case.

D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper dealer
of Chattanooga, Tenn, writes that he
was seriously afflicted with severe cold
that settled on his lungs; had tried many
remedies without benefit. Being induced
to try DIR. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, he was entirely cured by
use of few bottles. Since which time
he has used it for all coughs and colds in
his family with best results. This is the

An Indictment without Law,


Lewiston Teller.
The Territorial grand jury found
an indictment against two persons for
unlawful cohabitation, and sent it to
the court as true bill. A trial jury
IN the case was empaneled and sworn
to try the case; witnesses were sworn
and commenced giving their testi-
mony. The law under which they
were to be tried was called for, but
no copy could be produced in court.
The judge said that he had been in
formed of law making the act of CO.
habiting together without marriage a
misdemeanor and punishable, but he
had not seen the law, and he could
not proceed to try the case without
knowing that there was such law,
and what the law is. No law had
been published and circulated where
ne could get access to it, and so said
the District Attorney. If the grand
jury had the law upon which they
found the indictment, they had not
produced it to the Court or to the
District Attorney, and the Court was
unable to proceed with the case upon
mere rumor of what the law is, and
consequently dismissed the defend.
ants and jury and witnesses, and the
Indictment was quashed. This is one
of several cases where the neglect OIL
the late Legislature to make provision
for the early publication and distribu
ton of the laws balks the courts anc
officers in the proper discharge O.
their duties.

"Poor Old Missouri"

"Poor old Missouri" is term
applied to one of the greatest
states in the union. In fact, we
sometimes use the wori ourselves.
But in what sense is she poor
Certainly not of wealth for she has
taxable wealth to the amount of
S751, ,355, ,S30,25. Not in the intel
ligence of her people, as seen by
comparison from the national
capital to her most unpretentious
village, or among her gallant sons
who are found among the pushing
enterprising men everywhere. Not
in the splendid school system, as it
is among the best and most com
plete in the union. Not in her
great resources, for she is an en-
pire within herself.

Firel Firell Firelll

The citizens Of Kirksville were
aroused from their peaceful slum-
bers early on the morning Of Jan.
End, 1888, by the cry of fire, fire,
fire. Amid the excitement always
caused by this alarm with people
running too and fro and the hustle
and jostle and clatter of buckets
pans and every conceivable dish
for carrying water, running
against one and then over another
until being trampled upon, they
could hardly reach the scene of
the great commotion. At last the
place was finally located to be on
the north side of the square, piles
of goods were being carried out
and loaded on sleighs, wagons,
drays and hauled away. But all
seemed to know just where they
were going. While others inside
were rolling them out and hurry
ing them along. The scene was
exciting. When the truth of the
whole matter was determined it
was found that it was only one of
Halliday Bros, busy days. The
alarm of fire was of course false.
But the goods were going all the
same. Tons of -four and feed and
provisions of all kinds are moving
in and out of this mammoth cash
house. Call around and see for
yourselves.

no difference whether it was or

DEAD.

My dear old friend died at twelve O'Clock last
night,
Wrapped in his fine, soft mantle OF spotlesH
white
Being treated by Mrs. Summer rather dry,
Especially, after the first of July.
For some mouths. he had not been MS warm
hearted
As before he and Mrs. Summer parted,
He had hard congestive chills in November
But his chills were much han der in December.
On the twentieth day, he was ravlng mad!
Making poor people in poor houses feel sad,
So many of them insuf1ciently clad,
To our nation he vas great blessing,
Teaching Chicago anarchists, a lesson
Taking the lives of some, that others might
fear
And the stro, arm OF our government revere.
His restrictions on saloonists were noble,
Restraining their low, tumultuous model,
He brought religious bodies near together
He remembered the poor in winter weather,
He was favorable to peace commissions,
To christian women, home and foreign mis-
sons,
To their untiring work for prohibition,
Closing distilleries without condition.
Although our wise benevolent friend is dead
He left ths world full SO each one may be fed,
For ample provisions were made for the 1 r
bread,
And christians must see that the poor are
clothed and fed.
